TWO men from Dudley have been jailed following an investigation by police after reports of drug dealing from an address in Kidderminster.

Callum Clee, aged 21, of Willow Road, Dudley; Muhammed Shabaz Sheikh, aged 23, of New Birmingham Road, Dudley and Katherine Ray, 42, of Jubilee Drive, Kidderminster, pleaded guilty to the offences at Hereford Crown Court on Friday April 26.

Clee was sentenced to 30 months imprisonment for being concerned in the supply of class A drugs heroin and crack cocaine.

Sheikh was jailed for four years for being concerned in the supply of class A drugs heroin and crack cocaine and Ray was also sentenced to 30 months imprisonment for being concerned in the supply of class A drugs heroin and crack cocaine.

Police discovered a large amount of individually wrapped heroin and crack cocaine bags on Clee, as part of their investigation.

At the time of the investigation, Ray was allowing the drugs to be sold from her premises and also selling drugs.

Further enquiries linked Sheikh to the running of a drug line in the area.

Following the sentencing, DC Marc Waring from West Mercia Police said: "We will always take reports of drug dealing seriously and do everything we can to ensure our communities are kept safe and protected from harm.

"I want to make it clear that dealing drugs and also allowing your home to be used for drugs to be sold by a person, or group of people from outside of the area is not acceptable.

"If you are asked to allow your premises to be the venue for such activities please contact us immediately so that we can help."

He added: "Our officers, in particular our local Safer Neighbourhood Team worked very closely with investigating officers throughout to ensure those offenders were brought to justice."
